About the Wine
This Carneros Chardonnay is lush and layered, offering up a symphony of fresh-baked brioche, honeydew melon, crisp green apple, and marzipan. It’s bright on the palate, beautifully textured, and finishes with mouthwatering acidity and a whisper of toasted oak. The richness glides. The citrus pops. The elegance lingers.
Perfect Pairing? Fresh Dungeness crab. Bacon-wrapped scallops. Anything buttery, briny, or kissed by the sea.
Serve chilled. Pour generously. Repeat.
Meadowcroft crafts wines with power, precision, and soul. The mountain air, ancient soils, and dramatic elevation changes all converge to shape wines of extraordinary character.
Tom Meadowcroft doesn't mess around. With three and a half decades of winemaking mastery, he's turned his estate vineyard into a sanctuary of excellence. He studied in Bordeaux, graduated from UC Davis, and has been obsessing over every detail since 1979. When someone dedicates their entire life to one pursuit, magic happens.
Tom took everything he learned from European winemaking legends and blended it with California’s fearless innovation. The result? Wines that marry the finesse of Old World tradition with the bold spirit of the West.
Executive Winemaker Petar Kirilov brings something nobody else has—authentic European winemaking DNA mixed with over a decade of Napa experience. He grew up making wine with his father in Bulgaria and honed his craft at elite Napa wineries, mastering the art of coaxing complexity and balance from every grape.
Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits Journal didn’t just randomly name Meadowcroft a Top 100 winery. This family-run operation is on a mission to stand among the greats, and they’re not stopping until they get there. Every bottle is proof that they’re not just dreaming—they’re delivering.
Meadowcroft doesn’t produce mass-market wine. They craft small-lot, high-integrity wines that disappear quickly from those in the know. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
Tasting Notes
100% Chardonnay. A lush and aromatic wine. Delightfully complex, with aromatic notes of fresh baked brioche, honeydew melon, crisp green apple and marzipan. The long finish delivers refreshing acidity and subtle toasted oak flavors.
